Things are going to get interesting as construction is starting next week on the new stadium.
FOR HOME GAMES; Effective immediately ALL home games have been moved to Petes Pool on the Sportability schedule. There will be a couple conflicts coming where Enumclaw soccer has a game the same day as us. As soon as we know the solution Sportability will be updated and I will post info here. FOR PRACTICE; We will be working 1 week at a time for this schedule. Tonight is the last practice for this week and will be at WRHS 7 to 9. I'm hoping to be able to send out the next weeks "plan" on Sunday evenings. If there are changes during the week I will post info here and let the captains know to contact the rest of the players. Best advice I can give is to be patient, flexible and check here for info. I will get the information out as soon as I receive it. Coach O Monday 3/27--practice WRHS 7 to 9

Dinner/ auction is only 2 weeks away. This will be the 3rd year we are hosting this event. The intent of this day is to get everyone ready for the regular season games to begin . This will be the first time this season that players, coaches, score table, and referees will be on the field in game situations. No body wins a trophy, nobody gets a scholarship, it's all about getting on the field and playing. Mistakes are expected and will happen. This is the day to embrace and learn from them so when we play for real we have some of it out of our system. Be good hosts to our guests. Practice good sportsmanship. Take time this day to talk to the other teams coaches, players, and parents. Thank the referees for what they do for our game.
